The one area I have concerns about is the state of WSGI and other web-oriented modules. These issues have been brought up by Armin and others, but given a lack of a clear path forward (bugs, peps, etc), I don't think it's fair to use it as a measurement of overall quality. The whole WSGI situation is not going to get cleared up (from my understanding) until someone flat-out declares a winner in the whole str/bytes argument that keeps coming up. I think it might be time to have a PEP or two on this and use our new PEP dictator procedure to settle this so it stops dragging on (unless it has been miraculously settled and I am just unaware of it).

Yup, and I spoke with some people with horses in that race at Djangocon. The important thing is that the PEP(s) and suggestion come from the people with the most experience in that domain. That's why I said we (in the "committer" sense) need a clear path of things we need to change or fix - without it we're just stabbing in the dark.
